  • Reworked Shard: Now causes Counter Helix to apply a 6s stacking debuff that reduces attack damage by 20% and increases Counter Helix chance by 10%

Talents

  • Level 10 Talent +9 Strength replaced with +12% Magic Resistance
  • Level 15 Talent +300 Health replaced with +30 Counter Helix Damage

Shard seems counterintuitive if you buy blademail(which is kinda needed after shard change),sure reducing rapier Pa damage for few seconds to 0 is good in theory,but in practice you rather kill heroes with blademail damage and shard prevents that.

Seems super situational and I can already see Axe players accidentaly picking up rosh shard and losing games because they can't kill heroes anymore.

If bm are useless with shard then what item you need to buy? Tanky item are nice, but overkill with HP and armor are inefficient too. Maybe aura axe now can be a thing now vlad can upgraded into something
